Tirzepatide is a medication developed to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a dual agonist, meaning it activates two different receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)receptors. These receptors play critical roles in regulating blood sugar and metabolism.

Tirzepatide improves blood sugar control by:

  • Increasing insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are high
  • Suppressing glucagon release, which helps reduce glucose production in the liver
  • Slowing gastric emptying, leading to reduced appetite and enhanced feelings of fullness

This dual mechanism can provide better glycemic control and weight loss compared to medications targeting only the GLP-1 receptor.

Pricing

This is your sub-headline

Unlike most weight loss programs out there prescribing injectable weight loss medications, your care will be managed by a board certified physician who has the experience and knowledge for safe prescribing and clinical decision making. Many other programs cut costs by using cheaper compounding pharmacies, use acetate/salts in their product, or use compounding agents from overseas which can have unintended side effects and pose safety issues. Dr. Mineo partners with a high quality compounding pharmacy that compounds your medication here in the United States with semaglutide base, never acetate/salts, to ensure patient safety and confidence in their medication.
